Been looking at this a bit and I have a theory:
- a tid is not actually unique to a xfs_trans structure, if
we call xfs_trans_dup a single xlog_ticket, and with that the
tid is re-used by multiple transaction structure.
- because of that the major semantic change in the version vs
the previous one is that we now do not force the synchronous
transaction for the case where we re-used a block in
the rolled over transaction.
Still not quite sure about the implications of this.
